Monitoring brain oxygen during heart valve procedure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special head monitor (called NIRS) can help doctors keep your brain healthy during a procedure to replace your narrowed heart valve (TAVI). You will be monitored during the procedure, and the information may help improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe narrowing of your aortic valve (a heart valve) that is causing symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or fatigue.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have severe kidney disease or require dialysis.
- You have not had a stroke or mini-stroke in the last 6 months.
- You do not have other serious heart valve problems or severe heart failure (ejection fraction below 30%).
- You are not taking corticosteroids (like prednisone) on a regular basis.

This study follows people with aortic stenosis who are getting a TAVI valve replacement. It uses imaging tests (MRI and CT) to learn more about the condition and improve future care.
This study tests a non-invasive monitoring device (NIRS) that tracks blood flow to the spinal cord during planned aortic surgery. The goal is to better understand and prevent spinal cord damage that can cause paralysis after major aortic procedures.
This study is testing a new way to monitor blood flow and heart function during a valve replacement procedure. It may help doctors track how well the heart is pumping.
This study is looking at whether two devices used during brain aneurysm coiling surgery — one that measures oxygen levels in the brain (NIRS) and one that tracks depth of anesthesia (BIS) — can help doctors monitor patients better and possibly improve safety.
This study looks at how replacing a narrowed heart valve affects fluid in the lungs. It may help doctors better understand recovery after this procedure.
This study is testing a new type of heart valve (Navitor or Navitor Vision) for people with aortic stenosis. The valve is placed without open-heart surgery, and the goal is to see how well it works in a real-world setting. If you've already been recommended for this procedure by your heart team, you may be able to join.
